SAIDI is the average outage duration for each customer served, measured inunits of time, often minutes or hour. Specifically, the group’s total SAIDI inthe period was 624 minutes.
The Momentary Average Interruption Frequency Index (MAIFI) was 0.64 times perclient, down 36.2 percent, and the System Average Interruption Frequency Index(SAIFI) was 4.56 times per client, decreasing 36.2 percent year on year.
